Re: [Felvtalk] lizardmarsh.net
Hi Crystal, You've already given him the ELISA done in the lab (not the SNAP, which is done at the vet's)? It's hard to tell from what you wrote. A negative lab ELISA would prove Felv negative. Note that a negative IFA would not prove anything, as it's skewed towards false negatives. Alternately, a positive IFA would prove positivity. Anyone on the Felv list have any ideas about finding this guy a foster or home? Kathy On Tue, Sep 27, 2011 at 4:31 AM, lizardmarsh lizardma...@gmail.com wrote: ** Los Angeles: SOS.

The original email I circulated seems to have been edited and all of his information is not included. This is his story: Anakin was adopted from the East Valley Animal shelter, whom fixed and microchipped him. He was then immediately brought to my vet who SNAP tested him and dewormed him. She determined he was barely 10 weeks old, where at the shelter they said 14 weeks. The next day his ELISA test was positive and he had a URI, which was causing him to sneeze. I have 2 other cats so I kept them isolated and this further stressed Anakin, to the point where we had to relocate him to a foster without other cats. We IFA tested him 1 week later and he was FELV positive. Since we are unsure of his age, we agreed to have him retested at minimum 6 weeks later. I arranged a foster for him, who no tells me she will no longer house him after Thursday. We have many people who 'want' him if his next SNAP and IFA test come back negative. If they are positive, we have no home for him lined up yet and this is the predicament. If he can be the only cat in a home, he should be fine, even if he is FELV positive. He is pretty healthy other than a virus/cold that causes him to sneeze. Vet thinks he should grow out of it (2 rounds of clavamox did not help, so its not bacterial), as he is growing tremendously already and has TONS of energy, per the foster. His coat looks great and his temperament is exquisite. He even gets along with small dogs. So if you can help find him a forever home, regardless of his FELV status, that would be ideal. Otherwise, if you can or you can help find hi a foster in the meantime, this is equally beneficial.

Re: [Felvtalk] lizardmarsh.net
Crystal and Kathy, I believe Kathy has the tests turned around. Here is a link to a charting explaining what steps should be taken based on the various test results. http://www.felineleukemia.org/felvhlth.html There is a chance to get a false positive with the ELISA test especially the new 3 way ELISA.
